Appalled readers have slammed the sentence given to lorry driver Tomasz Kroker saying he should have got life for killing a mother and three children on the A34.

Kroker was jailed for 10 years after his lorry ploughed into a queue of stationary traffic near West Ilsley on August 10 because he was distracted by using his mobile phone while at the wheel.

The 30-year-old from Andover, who admitted the charges, was sentenced to 10 years for four counts of causing death by dangerous driving and four years for causing serious injury by dangerous driving at Reading Crown Court on Monday, October 31.

Peter Russell added: "This type of sentence shows how out of touch these high court judges are with the public. Ten years - which will probably be cut - for killing four lives because of his selfish act."

Fellow lorry driver Tim Robertson said Kroker should have been given a greater sentence.

He said: "I'm a lorry driver and no way would I pick up my phone. I have an earpiece in if someone calls and I tell them I will ring them back once stopped.

"Ten years...he should get more for what he did. It looks like he looked up and saw the traffic but did not pay attention."
